You are not buying a booth; you are buying the inventory of a small entertainment company. Buy it in the order the bookings arrive.
Most rental fleets grow the same way: one hero format that wins the enquiry, one workhorse that covers volume, then specialisation. This page lays out that order with the manufacturer's range, so a first purchase is a business decision rather than a gadget decision.
Wedding-led markets start with a mirror booth — it photographs like décor and sells the meeting. Party- and corporate-led markets start with a 360 platform: the clip is the advertisement, and selected configurations are listed from $999, which makes the first unit a low-risk entry.
The second unit is the one that lets you say yes twice in one night: an iPad booth for cost and speed, or a DSLR booth where print quality is the pitch. Two stations also unlock the two-booth package, the highest-margin line in most rental catalogues.
Then follow your bookings: a wooden booth if rustic venues dominate your patch, a second 360 size if groups keep asking, the robotic arm if production companies start calling. Specialisation is what moves an operator from competing on price to being the call for a format.
We can give you machine prices in a written quote, configuration by configuration, and the running-cost structure to model — consumables, software, transport. We cannot give you booking rates: those are set by your market. The cost guide breaks down the full purchase-side structure so your business plan starts from real inputs.
Model, configuration, quantity and destination — that is all a real quote needs. A named manager replies.
